090: Lee Strobel on The Proof of Real Miracles

We’re in a precarious time as a culture. While optimism is high in several areas of life, many people are desperate for change, for help…for a miracle in other areas of life. Maybe I’ve just described you. Maybe your marriage is on the rocks. Maybe you’re facing financial collapse. Maybe you or a loved one is facing an incurable illness. Listen, I understand. In times like this, we need to bolster hope in our hearts. And truth be told, what many of us need is a miracle. Joining me today, is NY Times Bestselling author of The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel. And we’re taking a deep dive into his new book, The Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural. Lee—a former atheist—is going to weave in his own story of personally encountering the God who still works miracles and changes lives. I want today’s conversation to inspire you. But more than that, I want your faith built. It’s too easy to become cynical and especially because of past disappointment, close our ears, and our hearts, to topics like this. I’ll be the first one to raise my hand on that one. I really believe this provocative conversation will encourage you to believe for the impossible in whatever you’re facing today.

New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button issue of whether it’s credible to believe God intervenes supernaturally in people’s lives today.

This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America’s foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think.

What’s more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don’t happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn’t he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for the Supernatural shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here’s a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God’s divine action in lives today.
